help loacting a evinrude part

[racefan2]

I am in need of a Evinrude water pump spacer longer 20" version part number 326693. The only place I can find it is listed on ishopmarine for $9.05 but $13.90 shipping for a plastic part that weighs about 10 oz's I bet.

No local dealer has one and 1 offered to get me one but it will be 3 weeks till I get it :'(

Anybody know anyplace to get this part??

Given the price of gas these days $13.90 is less then driving around to find it. Do you need any other parts? Maybe Ishopmarine can group your order to make it seem less like robbery. 8) I checked http://www.marineengine.com and they don't carry it.

Good luck.

Re: help loacting a evinrude part

I notice on the few things I bought at ishopmarine, the list price they had was 1/2 that of the dealer........so when you start factoring that in, the shipping isnt that bad. Plus you have to figure what 3 weeks of your time and gas trying to find the part is worth to you.

Pony tou are right about the time factor and all but just hoping there was another place that may have it. I am going to call about 15 OMC dealers in the 3 states closest to me today and if they don't have it then I will order it tonight.

Located the part about 100 miles away and having it shipped in for normal UPS rates. Thanks everybodyd

Ya know, I am just realizing that the orders there take awhile to process. I ordered a set of screws and an intake screen last week. Still hasnt been shipped despite the $ I paid for 2-day express shipping. Called up my dealer this morning after realizing that my parts werent scheduled to be shipped until Thursday..........My dealer didnt have any on hand (they had 2 but the shop was using them) so they ordered them for me. The total cost was about half that of ishopmarines with the shipping, and I get them Thursday morning. Quickly cancelled my order online and am paying less money for the exact same stuff.8)

I would be hesitant about buying from ishopmarine. I yet to receive any responses from questions aI have had about orders. They have yet to answer the phone as well. iboats.com has a nice store and the service is good.

Re: help locating a evinrude part

I'm gonna agree with guywithboat. I ordered from them once and it was not pleasant. I'm sticking with iboats in the future. Never had a problem with them and it gets here fast... But there are times when they are the only game in town for certain items....

I too had a bad experiance with ishopmarine, they are basicly like paypal scammers, they advertise parts a little cheaper than most, then rape you on the shipping. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I have dealt with iboats a couple times so far and it has been pleasant. I would never buy from them again.

I had good luck with marineengine.com, good price good shipping, no problems. They were just slightly cheaper then iboats. I guess it all depends on what your buying and where you live. marineengine.com is in Vermont, I am in Texas. Still got my order in less then 5 working days for regular shipping UPS. They email the tracking number. I would use them again if needed.
